Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Each parent's work-family conflict negatively predicted their own engagement at every wave, with effects stable across time, but partner effects of one parent's conflict on the other's engagement were nonsignificant. → Tiago Ferreira 2018

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Conditional latent growth curve models with work-family conflict as a time-varying covariate, tested separately for mothers and fathers. The article reports "a significant negative effect of WFC on mothers’ engagement rates, stable across T1, T2, and T3" with identical unstandardized coefficients at each wave.
"Regarding the time-varying covariate, there was a significant negative effect of WFC on mothers’ engagement rates, stable across T1 (b /H11005/H11002.15, p /H11021.001, 95% CI [ /H11002.23, /H11002.07], /H9252/H11005/H11002.19), T2 (b /H11005/H11002.15, p /H11021.001, 95% CI [ /H11002.23, /H11002.07], /H9252/H11005/H11002.22), and T3 ( b /H11005/H11002.15, p /H11021.001, 95% CI [ /H11002.23, /H11002.07], /H9252/H11005/H11002.18)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Child self-control at baseline is negatively associated with parents' work-family conflict at baseline and fathers' conflict at wave two — related
- Parents' working hours and number of children do not add explanatory power for engagement beyond work-family conflict — related
- Mothers' engagement in positive activities with children remains stable over early childhood while fathers' engagement shows significant linear growth — related
